Baxter Stockman is busy working for Krang on the Technodrome... or so it appears. Little does Krang know that Baxter has secretly been working on his own project that is both mutant AND machine! But when creation turns on creator, Baxter's trademark smugness might be in short supply! Will Baxter come up with a plan B in time to save himself... and the world?
TMNT fans, this is a must read issue. It's not critical reading for the overall narrative or anything along those lines -- it's just a simply awesome short tale. Burnham does a stellar job improving Stockman's reputation and making the character infinitely more fascinating. Meanwhile, Kuhn's unique visuals are a great fit for Burnham's tech heavy story and the end result is an issue any and every TMNT fan should read. Read Full Review
